The Minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed ,has faulted critics over their bad score on the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari
He affirmed that the current government has achieved much in the last six years.
He noted that in spite of best efforts of the Buhari administration, the naysayers have continued to say they have not seen what this Administration has achieved.
“In spite of our best efforts, the naysayers have continued to say they have not seen what this Administration has achieved. They have continued to deny the obvious by pretending that these achievements are not real. Even when they have travelled on the new standard gauge rail from Abuja to Kaduna, Lagos to Ibadan, and Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri, they still deny that any progress has been made in modernizing the country’s rail infrastructure. They travel through the ultra-modern airport terminals in Abuja and Enugu, yet they deny any progress has been made in modernizing our airports”.
He spoke at the mid-term report (second term) of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration,
Mohammed said that this year, which marks the half-way point of the second and final term of the Muhammadu Buhari Administration, the administration has decided to once again change our style for more effectiveness.
“Our new strategy is to suffuse the airwaves and the social media with unmistakable video evidence of the various achievements, to such an extent that even the blind can ‘see’ and the deaf can ‘hear’”.
He said the documentary, which will be updated from time to time until the end of the administration’s tenure, covers roads, rail, housing, power, aviation, agriculture, ports, bridges, health, fight against Covid-19, water resources and the economy generally.
“The documentary is ready, and it’s coming to your television sets and your telephones (via Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, etc). Because of the sheer enormity of the achievements, the documentary will be aired in three parts, and will run for months.
“When we started, we envisaged a two-part documentary, but in order to accommodate a large chunk of the achievements, we decided to extend it to three parts”.
